Swarovski X Square One Begins the Holiday Season with a Sparkle!

Christmas is just a little over a month away and the festivities leading up to the holiday season are in full swing.

Swarovski was among one of the first to start the season off with a bang or shall I say a sparkle at their Holiday Tree and Sparkle Pop Up event during which they unveiled the Official Swarovski Holiday Tree (the only one in Canada!) and their Sparkle Pop Up, a unique digital concept and global first at Square One on November 15th. The pop-up features a stylefinder where guests can discover jewellery and try it on virtually, an interactive mirror which creates fun festive portraits with a range of virtual accessories and a selfie wall where guests can take a photo with their favourite Swarovski influencer. Swarovski will also feature an exclusive Walk of Stars, which features a unique 21st century retrospective of highly collectable and rare Swarovski holiday ornaments from 2000 to 2017.

If you missed the unveiling don't worry you can still visit the beautiful tree which is compiled of over 1,500 crystal ornaments that complement 14 tiers of crystals as well as the Sparkle Pop Up. Moreover, Square One has a number of events through its second annual #SQ1SLAY program which transforms Square One into a holiday hub until December 31st for everyone to enjoy! Here is a quick look at some of the events you can expect to find at the mall this season.
